The flame sensor is a critical safety component — a metal rod that detects the presence of a burner flame by passing a small microamp DC current through it. When the sensor becomes coated with oxidation or fails electrically, the furnace control board can no longer confirm combustion, triggering an automatic safety lockout. The classic symptom is a furnace that ignites, runs for 5–8 seconds, then shuts off and repeats the cycle before locking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e LH33WZ520 | Factory Authorized Carrier OEM replacement | Genuine Carrier Corporation Replacement Components Division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This OEM sensor is manufactured to exact factory microamp sensitivity specifications. Generic flame sensors can have wider tolerance ranges, leading to nuisance lockouts or, worse, delayed safety shutoff — making OEM the only recommended choice for a safety-critical component.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Turn off gas and 120V power to the furnace before beginning. Tools needed: 1\/4\" hex driver or 5\/16\" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the single wire connector, remove the one mounting screw, and swap the sensor. Light fine steel wool or emery cloth can be used to clean the rod tip on the new sensor if needed.
